“I once got six hundred dollars for my scrap gold” is the tag line from a commercial played frequently on American television for a scam company that pays you “cash” for “unwanted” gold (meaning when you’re a senior citizen living on fixed income and tired of eating cat food, you can sell all your heirloom jewelry and dental fillings and other bling and the company will send you a check, probably for far below the market value of what you sent them. Yeah, you have to send it to them first and then they cut you a check). It’s targeted at senior citizens and I think it’s really distasteful.
